Abstract

This study aimed at guiding osteoblast cells from rat bone marrow on chemically modified and patterned collagen films to study the influence of pattern, on cell guidance. The films were stabilized using different treatment methods including crosslinking with carbodiimide (EDC) and glutaraldehyde, dehydrothermal treatment (DHT), and deposition of calcium phosphate on the collagen membrane.
